Social pressures mount as we get older. Parents, friends, schools and other institutions of civilisation insist that we conform. This isn't necessary a bad thing, if anything it is good to bring order to the collective, but it does come at a cost of our own individuality. Too much conformity and creativity dies. We need to maintain an inner chaos. We need to control it, otherwise it will destroy us, but without it, do we really even live? So yes, obey society and tend towards the normal but never let your insanity die out completely.
